2251 hrs: Claressa Shields is first American boxer in US history to win Olympic Gold twice in a row.
2135 hrs: Indian duo of Thanackal Gopi and Kheta Ram put up an inspired show and clock their personal best timings to finish 25th and 26th respectively in the men’s marathon.
1947 hrs: For some nations, winning Olympic gold is quite the regular occurrence. At the Rio de Janeiro Games, plenty of first-timers got to hear their anthems played in celebration as well.
Going into Sunday’s final day of competition in Rio, 10 teams including the independent team of Olympians were assured of leaving these games with their first gold medals.
That’s the most first-timers since 16 nations got their inaugural feel of Olympic gold at the Atlanta Games in 1996.
And those were hardly the only medal milestones at these games. The United States became the first team to win 1,000 gold medals in summer games competition, and a record 87 teams got at least one medal in Rio.
1946 hrs: American swimmer Ryan Lochte says he over-exaggerated what happened at a Rio de Janeiro gas station and acknowledged it was his “immature behavior” that got him and three teammates into a mess that consumed the final days of the Olympics.
Lochte, in a portion of an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer that aired Saturday , continued backtracking from a story that he initially described as an armed robbery. Police have said the swimmers vandalized a bathroom after a night of partying and armed guards confronted them and asked them to pay for the damage.
“It’s how you want to make it look like,” Lochte said. “Whether you call it a robbery or whether you call it extortion or us just paying for the damages, we don’t know. All we know is that there was a gun pointed in our direction and we were demanded to give money.”
1843 hrs: Yogeshwar Dutt out of Olympic medal contention after his first-round opponent Ganzorig Mandakhnaran loses in QFs.
1841 hrs: The men’s marathon has started in a downpour with runners leaving from the Sambodromo stadium in central Rio.
This is the last track and field event in the Olympic, and the Kenyans are expecting to wrap it up with gold. Eliud Kipchoge has been the dominant marathoner the last two years, while his Kenyan teammate Stanley Biwott also is a contender. Stephen Kiptrotich of Uganda is looking to defend the gold medal he won in the 2012 London Games. The field also features Americans Galen Rupp and Meb Keflezighi.
With the rain, only a small crowd of fans and supporters in ponchos and holding umbrellas were on hand to see the runners off on the course winding through the soggy streets of Rio de Janeiro.
